Turn a broad priority into measurable SMART goals or OKRs that people can use to guide their work. The SMART Goals and OKR Builder helps HR professionals and managers clarify intended outcomes, define meaningful measures and choose a format that fits the organisation’s goal-setting cadence. Use it to draft a new objective, test whether an existing goal is specific enough or prepare for a performance conversation, without relying on vague goals that leave people unsure what success looks like.

How to install and use this skill

  • Download the .skill file for the skill you want to use.
    • In Claude: go to Customize → Skills, click +, then Create skill and Upload a skill. Select the .skill file and switch the new skill on.
    • In ChatGPT: open Skills, select Create, then Upload from your computer, and choose the .skill file.
  • Run the cold start before using the skill for real work. The first time, it will ask a short set of questions about your organisation, processes, preferences, and guardrails. Answer what you can; it will use clearly stated defaults for anything you do not know. At the end, download the updated file and use Update Skill to replace the installed version. If something changes later, open the skill’s references/profile.md, edit the relevant answer, save it, and use Update Skill again — there is no need to complete the full interview again.

If you use Microsoft Copilot: create one focused Copilot agent per skill rather than uploading the package. In Copilot, go to Agents & Skills → New agent, then copy the skill’s SKILL.md into the agent’s Instructions field.
